The most romantic day of the year is coming! In view of Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated tomorrow, February 14, the experts Canon offer some suggestions for making unforgettable shots. After all, nothing, more than a photo, is able to make fleeting shots eternal.
Obviously at the base there is the tool: owning a good camera. But that’s not enough, indeed. Important variables need to be considered, such as lighting and the environment in which you are shooting.
The lighting, we said. Night portraits can be challenging, often requiring a flash to get enough light. If you have a romantic dinner planned…evaluate the ambient light around your subject which can be very atmospheric and therefore may be worth keeping in your portrait. In this case, a full-frame mirrorless camera like the model Canon EOS RP it allows an autofocus to shoot without flash even in low light conditions like a candlelit date.
For daytime shots, however, the problem could be the opposite: portraits with too high contrast. If the subject is backlit by strong sunlight, a flash can help. This is because the camera will attempt to balance flash and daylight, to achieve an even more impactful image in which both everything (the subject and the background) are optimally lit.
If you use an automatic shooting mode, you can quickly adjust the light thanks to the exposure compensationAnd. This is especially useful for capturing light skin tones, without making the subject appear excessively pale. Conversely, it can be used to make darker shades more natural. This setting is available on almost all Canon cameras.
We remind you that many Canon cameras can be controlled remotely with your smartphone via Wi-Fi, thanks to the app Canon Camera Connect. A perfect solution for making candid shots.
